chapter 7)Habits

I don't remember the time I went to bed last night but it must have been so late with the bags under my eyes ..tirelessly walking out of the school bathroom going to my last class of the day I spotted a figure as soon as his eyes flickered my direction he quickly went the other way ..I immediately made a mental note to find out more about this mystery, shoving the matter at the back of my head I entered my class which was English literature

"Mrs Daniels you ask for permission to go to the bathroom and you come back twenty minutes later are you alright?"

"Yeah I think so..I'm just tired"

,I quickly turned away rushing to my seat now the whole class's attention was on me ..I'm not the one to fear attention so I lifted my head up confidently and went right to the middle where I've always seated since ,and everyone quickly went back to whatever they were busy with

"Hey Tash are u alright ?" Sam asked with that worried expression on her face,yeah I'm just tired that's all..

"Aww friend don't say anything okay and she pulled me into a tight hug ,I know you going through a whole lot of baggage but I'm here okay ..?"

"I know that alright"

I slightly laughed pulling away but she detected how fake that small laughter was and she just sighed and started concentrating on whatever Mrs Daniels was saying

This whole day my mind was not even at school it was just somewhere else ..,I was feeling sad.

After class we did the usual Sam drived  me home and it looked like nothing has changed mom wasn't here as usual ..I went to the kitchen and made myself a sandwich ,looking at it  I realised that I don't even have the appetite for it so I just shoved it down because I was weak and hadn't eaten the whole day

"I see you have acquired some of my habits young lady.."

I jumped to the corner of the house in fear and now realising that  very familiar voice I cleared my throat...

"umm -u scared me there"

"Oh no it's my fault I'm sorry ,I've been knocking for quite a while and i entered when I realised that the door is open and some of my men outside had informed me that you are home"

"Oh!so what do u mean I have acquired some of your habits..?"

"oh never mind it's nothing really"

he just brushed  away the matter but my expression must have been enough ..

He awkwardly cleared his throat and said ,"I meant I also force food in my system when I haven't eaten for awhile "

I didn't know how to react to that so i just nodded.

"So what are you doing here ?"

"you don't seem happy to see me young lady "

"I don't think that's the case it's just that I didn't expect you Mr Kenilson .."

"please call me Delvin ,its a little less formal i guess"

..he looked away and damn that was just awkward, o-k-a-y..,but you are my father  right so would it be right if I addressed you with your first name ...

"I don't mind at all everyone else calls me Mr Kenilson I just figured out that you could call me something different since you are my daughter..,can I sit? "

There goes my manners "yeah of course ,can I get you something juice ,water"

"not at all ..I just wanted to let you know that you will have to get used on having people following you and you will be fetched and taken to school everyday ..I'm concerned about your safety more than anything"

"O-k-a-y.,that will be fine I guess thank you"

"Don't thank me Nat if anything happens to you i will never be able to forgive myself so I will keep a close eye on you until you umm get to move in at home with me"

"But  this is home  too,"

"yeah it is I didn't mean it that way,

Anyways if you notice something suspicious you will have to tell me alright"

"Yeah sure will do .."

"I will leave now and you wont be seeing me fo a while i will leave my card here in case of any thing ..and do eat okay"

I nodded and i kinda felt sad that he was leaving ..,he stood up and kissed my forehead and left,it was strange feeling the fatherly concern and care for the first time..the feeling bought excitement and my mood kinda changed..i made my way to my room and i started working on my homeworks afterwards like three hours later i freshened up and went to bed .
The last thing I remember was sort of a very soft breath  on my cheek .,then blank

                                 *******
I woke up looking at my clock it was 6:30 in red letters...I sprinted towards my bathroom turning the shower knob and quickly stripped my pyjamas stepping into the shower the water was so  cold. .quickly jumping out and setting the right temperature I only had 30mins to get ready so I quickly showered and stepped out after a few minutes and settled on denim shorts and a white crop top with black cursive printed  savage and i decided on putting my hair in a  ponytail and i also needed to go to the salon that's a mental note ,

" Tash honey you late are u even up?"

"Yes mom be right down"

..,I quickly slipped on my adidas sneakers
Having five minutes I quickly fixed my bed took my backpack and rushed down ,kissed my mom goodbye, opened the  door I was awe-struck with a shining black jaguar and a man in a suit opened the door for me ..,I started looking at my outfit and the car before the driver nervously said

"you look lovely Mrs I am Learnerdo ,"

"Umm morning ,please call me Tasha"

".okay mam, I mean T -Tasha"

I  didn't fail to register the accent in his voice and i quickly got in  the car  and when I got at school he hurriedly opened the door for me and everyone's attention was diverted to me, I just zoned  everyone out and it was just me in my eyes ,the thing I do when people stare I just put myself in the spotlight but with no audience
..,

I got an earful when Sam got to school why I hadn't called her not  to fetch me,which I feel guilty about I had completely forgotten about her, so I apologised, today  was kinda normal

And so was the rest of the week, it went by so fast, same routine  except that some days I would be up earlier or my mom would come back earlier to spend some time with me but that was it.
